Diana and Actaeon, Titian, £50 million - The most expensive artworks in pictures

This painting by Renaissance master Titian is one in a series of seven famous
“poesies” canvasses by the painter. Now in the joint possession of the
National Gallery in London and the National Galleries of Scotland, the
previous owner the Duke of Sutherland claimed he didn’t do too well out of
the £50 million deal. The Duke will avoid inheritance tax and capital gains
tax by selling the paintings to public collections, however he
was reported saying he could have made more money by selling them in the
open market.
